Time to bite the bullet and request some assistance for this puzzle Embarrassed

10d Sanctify sinner he converted. I have ??S?R???

47d Downplayed the importance of letters from evil diarist. All that I've found that fits is TYPESET, but the clue has me stumped. T?P?S??

68a Nanny to go with Jules on board. I have ??????E?S

60a Ruling that re-signing Sierra on radio should be scrapped. I have R??????G

They should get me out of the slump. Thanks in advance!

@Dogz,
My suggestion are
10d ENSHRINE (anagram of sinner+he)
47d can't help
68a GOVERNESS (anagram GO+VERNE+SS)
60a REIGNING (anagram of resigning-S)

Good Luck

@PaddyH,
Thanks Paddy. I'll have another crack at it now. But first a quick question - how did you know what words in the clue to use in the anagram for the solutions? Is there something I'm missing, or is it a learned skill from doing so many?

@Dogz,
47d anagram of evil diarist is trivialised

@Dogz,
It is something I've picked up over years of solving.You could maybe,like myself,get to the stage where you recognise the way certain compilers think.

Agree with chrisnkev on answer to the other question. Important to always give the correct number of letters required for an answer.

Good Luck
